EFM Ethernet First Mile

EFM: Copper-Based Dedicated Internet Access

Ethernet First Mile is the direct replacement for BT’s SDSL service, with the advantage that EFM can deliver far higher guaranteed data rates, with symmetric up and down speeds. If you just need a basic 2Mb service (equivalent to the maximum old SDSL rate), we can provide this at a fraction of the cost of SDSL: usually less than £100.

EFM delivers similar performance to traditional Ethernet (Fibre) services but, as it utilises the existing BT infrastructure, it is usually much faster and cheaper to deploy. Depending on your location, EFM can deliver guaranteed speeds from 2Mb to 35Mb!

We can often supply a 10Mb Ethernet First Mile service for £140 per month or even less.

Importantly (unlike SDSL), you don’t necessarily need a router, as Ethernet First Mile is already provided as RJ45 Ethernet on install: if you have the technical capability, you can just connect straight into your network, firewall or switch. EFM coverage is set to double from 2015.
